HOUSEHOLD (cleaning ) TIPS

[paris]

Has anyone got any tips to share, ? Instead of using products like vanish i make up a spray bottle of washing powder and water mix then spray onto stains before they go in the wash. They always come out nice and clean and dont need another wash to get the stains out. ( sad i know but it works ) jan x

[paris]

[unicorn]

[footie chick]

[paris]

Sheets coming over the top not from the bottom, or so i was told . LOL jan x

Who says? it works the same if its running down the wall, thats why its called a toilet roll, sheeesht wimen :lol:

Paris how long do you leave this mixture on for or do you rub the material when applied. What is the amount of powder to water. Hope you don't think I am sad - just have children with dirty clothes!

While reading this thread, it put me in mind of Viz Top Tips that I hadnt seen in years - so I googled for them and heres some that I found......
Minor skin grafts can be performed on pigs by covering any cuts and grazes with thin strips of bacon.
Cheer loudly at 8.00pm each Saturday to fool the neighbours into thinking you have won the Lottery.
Thicken up runny low-fat yoghurt by stirring in a spoonful of lard.
A next door neighbour's car aerial, carefully folded, makes an ideal coat hanger in an emergency.
Sweetcorn fans. Save money on loo paper by simply pouring the stuff straight down the pan.
Vegetarians coming to dinner? Simply serve them a nice bit of steak or veal. Since they`re always going on about how tofu, Quorn, meat substitute etc `tastes exactly like the real thing`, they won`t know any difference.
DRILL a one inch diameter hole in your refrigerator door. This will allow you to check that the light goes off when the door is closed.
BOMB disposal experts' wives. Keep hubby on his toes by packing his lunchbox with plasticine and an old alarm clock.
OLD telephone directories make ideal personal address books. Simply cross out the names and address of people you don't know.
A TEASPOON placed in a glass on the back seat of your car makes a handy audible gauge for road bump severity.
TAKE your dustbin to the supermarket with you so that you can see which items you have recently run out of.
NO TIME for a bath? Wrap yourself in masking tape and remove the dirt by simply peeling it off.

Thanks for this Paris, our daughter is really bad for the stains on her clothes, I am at the point of putting full boiler suits on her to stop her day to day clothes getting ruined! Does this also work for kiddy paints as she got paint on her jacket at school the other day, (they were painting outside for some reason), washed it twice but paint still there!

[grumpyhippo]

The best way to keep things clean and tidy is not to allow thing to get out of hand.
I follow Ms grumpy the regulation 3 paces behind and pick up, replace ,or fold what ever is disturbed, ................saves all the grief in the long run. Am I hen pecked...........no just practical!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahh! Now you haven't seen my DIY - I take great pride in an excellent finish. ;)

[paris]

I call mine Mr bodge it ! :lol:

[wifie]

Paris, you are a genius. Had a bit of a prob with my squeezy bottle but found a suitable receptacle eventually and it made a good job of a really grubby sports kit - best result I've had yet. Ta much!
